How would you feel if a kid showed up at your door with this mask on for Halloween, trick or treating?

It is ironic that the man accused of killing 12 on July 20th, when first wearing a Bane-like outfit to be revealed as a self-styled "Joker," has now become a mask.

The mask was briefly displayed for sale on eBay on Friday, October 6, 2012, and then withdrawn. Some reports indicate the price reached $500.

The individual who placed the eBay notice put this description with the listing:

Halloween is only a month away. SHOCK EVERYONE YOU KNOW! He was referred to as "The Joker", "The Dark Knight Shooter," "The Ilama," "The Extraordinary Gifted" but his real name is JAMES HOLMES! There is nothing more scary than crawling into James Holmes mind and wearing his face. His "soul penetrating eyes" and "The Joker" orange hair makes this mask the most disturbing object you will ever own. Imagine owning the mask of supposedly the most dangerous mass murderer in US history. This is a high quality latex rubber mask which was custom designed for a private collector overseas. I won this mask playing high stakes poker tournament when I was in Europe. I guaranty you that this is the only mask in the world and it is practically priceless because it was used in the production of the most controversy documentary which will come out in 2013. This mask is sold as is and there are no returns. If you have 0 feedback and you are interested to bid on this item you have to contact me first. I will ship the mask immediately after I receive the payment. Good luck!

Others have found their own ways to be a "Holmes" copycat without a mask.
